Turnover time between Tenants

What do you average for on turnover time for single family rentals? 

My single family properties rent around $1000-1900. I do not like showing prospective tenants a property until it has been vacated, touched up, and clean. I understand some people do show properties when it is occupied and that may result in filling faster vacancies, but in my experience I have found tenants respond better to vacant properties.

If you have a property that has been sitting on market for a few weeks what tactics do you use if any? 

Of course reviewing and lowering the rent may help. I list my properties for rent on the major sites such as Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, Cozy, & Craigslist. I do screen tenants prior to showings so am not wasting time with those who may not be qualified. Also currently have a no pet policy, but try to keep an open mind depending on situation. Once it starts sitting for a couple weeks it starts sinking further down on the new listings searches and could be overlooked so wanted to get some suggestions.
